Newsletter November & December 2011
Dear members and friends,
The club has been abuzz again throughout September and October with members and friends coming together as the temperature outside adjusted for the new season. A combination of regular nights and popular events managed to heat things up and get that clubbing feeling back after the summer lull.
Hansjörg-Frido and Edeltraud-Eva brought a bit of Munich to the ESCB so we could all enjoy Oktoberfest! Many clubbers got into the spirit by dressing up in their Dirndls and lederhosen and even the schlagermusik that rocked the club was a hit. Several Oktoberfesters complained of hangover heads the following day- a sure sign of a good event! Towards the end of October pumpkin carvers filled the club again, with many eager to create scary pumpkins to ward off nasty neighbors. Our creative carvers produced some impressive pieces again this year!
We have plenty in store for November and December. The AGM will be held on 11.11.11. Make sure you come along to find out more about how the club is doing, and to have your say on who will be running the place in the year ahead. The admin only lasts around half a hour and the bar will be open as normal throughout. Insert December 16th in your agenda and join the ESCB Christmas party! Mulled wine and Christmas cookies will surely get you into the festive spirit! Bring your friends, family, Santa hats and Elf ears and come celebrate the festive season with us!
We are grateful to all our members and friends for their efforts in spreading the word about us! Our member base has grown rapidly over the past year and we have you to thank for that! Keep up the good work, and make sure you let us know if you have any suggestions or feedback- we are always looking for ways to improve the club.
On behalf of the committee, I wish you all a great end to the year, and look forward to a successful and enjoyable 2012!

Newsletter September and October 2011
Dear members and friends,
as the summer slowly comes to an end, it’s time to get clubbing again… The last few months, as every year, have been more quiet relative to the rest of the year. However, the miserable weather together with our Cocktail Fridays did well to lift the summer spirit at the ESCB.
Between July and August, each Friday was Cocktail night! The drink of the night depended on the bar keeper, and while some drinks proved more popular than others, our members and guests seemed to enjoy this little injection of summer into the club. Another successful annual ESCB BBQ took place at the beginning of August. As usual, it was located in Bümpliz and even the weather cooperated to make the day great fun for everyone!
We have lots in store for the coming months. Frido and Eva will bring Oktoberfest to the club on the 7th of October! So, dust off your lederhosen and your schöne Dirndl. For anyone making the effort to dress up for the occasion, make sure you claim your free drink at the bar! The theme of the evening is definitely: “beer, wurst, pretzels, fun!” Just in time for Halloween, we will be carving scary pumpkins again this year. On Friday 21st of October bring your favorite pumpkin to our pumpkin carving event for a radical make-over. This event is great fun and popular every year, so make sure you don’t miss out!
Looking a little bit further ahead on the horizon, we will hold our AGM on the 11th of November. Make sure you come along to either have your voice heard (Premium members), or to find out what makes the club tick…
We wish you all a great end to the summer months, and look forward to a new season of fun!
Niklaus Gerber - ESCB President
